The evidence released so far suggest Tyler Robinson could potentially be linked to a movement like the Order of Nine Angles or 764.

Doesn’t matter if he’s MAGA or not. Trump and his supporters will weaponize this event either way.

The Wall Street Journal, which has fucked up and had to issue a retraction already, is currently saying he's independent but highlighting Cox calling him ultra-leftist. So the general tone of the article is still, this guy's a dangerous dem.

If it's true that he's far right, everything fair so far has, the potential to backfire in an insane way.

Trump himself made a public address about Charlie and said "radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives."

If this was radical right violence, it's a fucking huge deal. Not because of the event, but because of the reaction.
